Adding massiv new clients in CommCell

Hi CP,

Could you provide more details of which operation you are attempting and where it is failing please?

Are you trying to pre-register the clients? Why not just install those clients instead?

Hello @Amey Karandikar yes we just want to pre-register the clients. 
Becouse those clients are special and needed to be install seperate in Commvault. 

Hi @Javier we are trying with a .bat command. The command is created from Commvault. 

@echo off

setlocal

if not defined GALAXY_BASE set GALAXY_BASE=D:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Base

set PATH=%PATH%;%GALAXY_BASE%
set response="hu.tmp"

qlogin -cs "XXXX.root.local"  -csn "XXXX" 
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 (
    echo Login failed.
    goto endOfScript )

:loopx
if "%~1"=="" ( goto loopz )
set input=%input% %1
shift
goto loopx
:loopz
qoperation execute -af "huhu.xml"  %input% > %response%
    if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 (
        echo Failed to execute operation.
        goto end_1725364975 )
    for /F "tokens=1* usebackq" %%i in (%response%) do (
    echo %%i %%j )

:end_1725364975
    set OrigErrLevel=%errorlevel%
     qlogout
    if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 (
        echo Logout failed. )
    del %response%
    if %OrigErrLevel% NEQ 0 exit /b %OrigErrLevel% 

:endOfScript 
 

In the attachment you can see the XML that the batch will get it new clients infos.

Best regard,

CP

 

Thank you for the additional details CP.

I cannot find any command line operation that will allow to bulk import client.

We can register them after a decoupled installation however = https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/qoperation_register.html

Would it be possible to install them this way and then register then with the CV?

Even if they are initially only deploy with the file system core iDA, you should be able to push any other packages to them once they’ve been already onboarded.

This can be as simple as the below example (of course after qlogin):

client.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
    <App_CreatePseudoClientRequest registerClient="0">
        <processinginstructioninfo>
            <user userId="1" userName="admin"/>
            <locale country="US" language="en" localeId="0"/>
            <formatFlags continueOnError="0" elementBased="0" filterUnInitializedFields="0" formatted="0" ignoreUnknownTags="1" skipIdToNameConversion="1" skipNameToIdConversion="0"/>
            </processinginstructioninfo>
        <clientInfo clientType="1">
            <openVMSProperties cvdPort="0"/>
            <ibmiInstallOptions/>
        </clientInfo>
        <entity _type_="3" clientId="0" clientName="" hostName=""/>
    </App_CreatePseudoClientRequest>

Good morning @Jacek Piechucki,
